Progress from Poverty.

Edward Atkinson OF Boston, in q
recent address on Progress from
Poverty" said he did not share in
the apprehensions of some people
over these troublous times. II the
labor element were half as dangerous
as it was pictured by some our cities
would have been destroyed twenty
years ago. Mr, Atkinson compared
stone axe from thirty feet under a
glacial drift at the mouth OF the Della
ware with modern 5O-cent hatchet,
and said that the prehistoric man
with the stone axe was greater cap
italist compared to the man who had
none than any capitalist OF to-day.
The prehistoric capitalist kept his
capital to himself; the modern capi-
talist could only derive benefit
from his capital by shar-
ing it with others. More than 90
per cent of the people in this country
were in substantial equality as regards
food. fuel, clothing and shelter; the
greatest disparity was in their control
OF their time. There was more capi-
tal to-day than men capable OF using
it; the capital OF to-day was what was
wasted 25 years ago. Railroad man
ayers were hard worked and were pub
lie benefactors. Last year an average
OF az pounds was carried by railroads
112 miles to each man, woman and
child in the country, and the lecturer
preferred that Mr.. Vanderbilt should
carry this than to carry it himself,
even if Mr.. Vanderbilt made $780,.
600 by it; it would be cheap at that.
AS for congress going out OF its pre-
scribed course to regulate railroads,
it would better first try regulating
the bakeries and butcher shops in the
District OF Columbia, and possibly
it might in time learn how to regulate
railroads. Development of the
Individual and education OF the young
were the only remedies for socialism.
Compulsory labor had been abolished,
and intelligent men would not now
submit to it--as soon as they found
it out. Every labor organization
would ultimately become II common
school Of social sciences. There was
no cause for fear in labor matters;
nap were in the initial stage at pres
ent, and all would come out we'll.
